Moreover, she acquainted herself with backstage work at the film sets. However, while filming T.V series “Chucky”, she couldn’t help but change her mind, after a gruesome scene.

In a recent episode of ‘Out of Character’, Morgan said “So I’m kind of embarking on this acting endeavor and I get to see how it’s so similar to what we do in WWE. But how it’s so vastly different as well and so that’s been a fun journey.”

Morgan added, “So, the all-day filming, it felt like I was doing a backstage kind of right like I felt very familiar. but then we got to this um stabbing scene and um it was just a whole different ball game.”

She immediately felt qualified to call herself an actress, after that scene.

She further said, “I felt like ‘oh I’m an actress right now!’ Like, ‘I’m an actress!’ and so that was really cool, it was.

Therefore, that’s where the similarities cease between the two entertainment industries.
